Planning For an Easy Arrival and Smooth Departure
Please remember that all passengers and vehicles must be at the dock and ready for boarding at least 30 minutes prior to scheduled departure. During the summer months, we recommend you arrive 45 minutes to 1 hour prior to the scheduled departure time, as passenger capacity may be reached on popular sailings prior to departure. For car-free travelers, convenient public transportation is available from Boston, Providence, New York City, NY and CT to our docks.
Upon arrival at the terminal, our uniformed attendants will direct you to a convenient location to board the ferry and where to place your baggage. Please have your reservation information available when you arrive at the terminal. Public restrooms, free Wi-Fi and TV are available on all of our vessels and inside all of our terminals. Limited concession sales will resume May 19, 2021. Please see steamshipauthority.com/2019coronavirus for updates.
